In addition to the AutoSub plus VAM, the 5008 CorDiax also offers patients with difficult conditions the option of high convective treatment - MIXED HDF.
While other systems check and adjust the transmembrane pressure (TMP) in defined time intervals, AutoSubplus measures and evaluates the conditions directly inside the filter several times per minute. The innovative technology behind it is based on a dynamic signal analysis of the pressure pulses. As a result, substitution volumes can be maximized individually for each patient without user interaction.
Although most patients achieve sufficient volumes with AutoSubplus, there may not be favorable conditions for high convective volumes. For these patients, we have intensified our research and developed the MIXED HDF option for the 5008 CorDiax.
The 5008 dialysis machine allows the simultaneous delivery of post-dilution and pre-dilution volumes - the so-called MIXED HDF. With its two substitution pumps, the convective transport can be increased by adding a pre-dilution portion to avoid the risk of hemoconcentration or to compensate for low blood flow rates.
VAM is a unique and intelligent safety feature. It allows dynamic and highly sensitive monitoring of venous pressure by combining arterial and venous pressure signals with an adaptive algorithm. In this way, VAM is designed to show sudden small drops in about 15 mmHg, even when venous pressure does not exceed the lower alarm limit. VAM was developed to support healthcare professionals in the early detection of venous needle dislodgement. However, the patient is responsible for the treatment of all patients. VAM also includes an alarm management system.
ONLINEplus - Reduce workload, increase utilization
Historically, the required quantities of fluid substitutions have been provided in infusion bags. This has added to the workload of nursing staff and the detection of dialysis centers to use HDF. In order to allow more patients to access the benefits of HDF, we have developed a dialysis system that prepares fluid substitution directly at the patient's bedside - The ONLINEplus system. Based on the practical production of sterile and non-pyrogenic fluid substitution processes. Online hemodiafiltration was born.
Bloodlines
Our innovative bloodlines are based on the idea that HighVolumeHDF will be easy to handle and safe to handle as HD. With 5008 CorDiax you can already perform HighVolumeHDF.
Efficient and sustainable
It is not only the advanced treatment options that make the 5008 series unique, but also its environmental friendliness: with the 5008 CorDiax series, Fresenius Medical Care supports the sensitive and sustainable use of resources by saving dialysate, water and energy. This leads to significant cost savings.
• ONLINEplus technology for sterile production, bicarbonate-buffered and endotoxin-free electrolyte solutions1
◦ Large quantities of fluid replacement for HDF available.
Rin No more need for ready-made rinse solutions: priming, reinjection and bolusing with ONLINE FLUID in all treatment modes (also in HD)2.
• AutoFlow automatically adjusts the dialysate for treatment
Substantial savings in water, wastewater, concentrates and energy, leading to significant cost savings.
• EcoFlow to reduce dialysis and energy consumption during and after reinjection while avoiding bacterial growth.
